Question

Part E If you were to randomly survey 50 people at 20 random locations across the country (such as parks, malls, restaurants, etc.), would this be a random sample? Why or why not?
Part F If you were to randomly survey 20 people at 50 randomly chosen high schools, would this be a random sample? Why or why not?

Answer 1

Answer:

I think so

Explanation:

So, for question one, 50 people across 20 random places, this would be pretty random. A random sample is sampling from people who have the exact same probablity of getting chosen. So if all the people are random, it should be a random sample. Now for question 2, this is a random sample. If  you surveyed completely random people from completely random high schools, then the entire thing is completely random. Therefore, both scearios are random samples.
